Operant conditioning forms the premise that behaviours are shaped by their consequences. It is fundamentally learned behaviour‚ formulated by responses to positive or negative motivations; no behaviour is without consequence‚ enjoyable or bad. It is this application of consequences that connects certain responses to particular stimuli (Huitt & Hummel‚ 1997).

Behaviourists came up with the idea that it is learnt either through classical or operant conditioning.

They proposed that all behaviour is learned rather than inborn and In terms of attachment‚ through

What do you think are the differences and similarities between Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning? Many people believe that Classical and Operant are similar. Several people don’t know what the similarities and differences of Classical and Operant are‚ several people think it is the same learning method‚ which in this case I’m going to compare and contrast each behavior and give you information about each one‚ so you could have a better understanding of each method and what they do.
